Landing on the aircraft carrier

Featured Replies

I can land the icon and Maule on the new aircraft carrier at Honolulu but the Vans runs out of deck and flips into the sea. Can anyone tell me the technique to landing the Vans on the deck, please ??

Aircraft carrier? I certainly was asking for one, but when did it appear?

I did it!!!! The best way is to set your parking brake and come in nice and slow. That way you can stop short. Good Luck everyone!

"Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it."

Try to approach while maintaining an altitude lower than the carrier itself, then pull up just when you get near it, let the airplane climb a bit and lose airspeed to about 40kts, it will stall and settle on the carrier almost vertically. And yes, don't forget to land with parking brakes set. I found it a little easier to approach from the side where the F-16 is.

Actually, there is an aircraft carrier, but it is quite a long way out from the Island.Al

Let me guess: you only get it if you purchase the Zero? :DHook

Nope. The ship is part of the scenery. It's static.

Nope, the carrier is there in the default download of Flight I think. It is a Japanese sidestacked flat top straight decked light carrier with no superstructure on the weather deck, which is a wooden planked deck with the Japanese emblem painted on it.If you want to see it and try landing on it, for which you do get an award and some XP if you manage to pull it off successfully, you can do so by taking off from Dillingham airfield, then immediately steering directly west. After you have flown for about 20 minutes or so, you will realise that yes, this is another april fools joke and that there is no such aircraft carrier located there. However, there might have been back in 1941.Al

It would be static scenery no matter how you got it.
